God speaks to us…
try to be as wise as the fox,
try to make your Spirit fly as high as the eagle, take from Nature only what is strictly necessary,
be loving like the swallows,
Let your place be outdoors and don’t close yourself inside walls…

I was standing outdoors near the Contarina canal, close to home, observing and photographing the swallow chicks feeding when a beautiful red fox came and stopped to observe me. Shortly afterward, I raised my head to the sky and a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) flew overhead with its daily food.
